Go Sage...GO!

  Broke out of the gate and never looked back. Yeah, it was the Texans. But we turned them out, like we should have. Philip Rivers was throwin' TD passes that looked like they left the hand of Billy Kilmer 35 years ago! That pass to Gates was short and wobbled like a weeble, ugly. Gates was so open he just stopped stride, waited for it, caught it, and sprinted to the house! And it went on...and on. The defense played offense. And Antonio Cromartie was the star running back.

 Antonio was the beneficiary of an all star flub. Or a chain of flubs. The Houston Texans punt team pulled a Keystone Cops play. They're names escape me. I was laughin' like a mofo when the sportscaster called the Texans long snapper the "extra long snapper"! Hilarious. HOU attempts a punt deep in their own territory and the center snapped this ball like a Brett Farve pass in reverse! Like 10 feet over the punters head! The punter had a beeline on the ball to at least kick it out of the end zone or fall on it for a 2 point safety for the Bolts. He overruns the ball, trips and falls to the ground and Cromartie just picks up the ball...TD! It was classic. The punter then proceeds to the sideline and takes his helmet off so all the world can see his freckle faced ass. You had to see it to believe how lame it was. It was like (I'm going way back here) George Plimpton Paper Lionesque. He actually faded back to pass and ran into the goal post! For real. Check out the movie "Paper Lion", it's from the late 60's but totally cool. Great football movie.

 One paragraph off subject. The Red Sox have just won the World Series in a sweep. Blastin' that ole hex to oblivion. To the Rockies, nice season. Amazing end streak. I knew the days off would kill your chances. Iam also very excited (and hungover) from watching yesterdays awesome Duck victory over the Trojans. Quack! Quack! Dennis Dixon baybee. And Ducks...wear the white uni's and helmets you wore against WA a few weeks back, classy and not obnoxious. The parading carousel of alternating uniforms is annoying. It's like being on a ski slope in 1987, day glo city. Or like being trapped in REM's "Shiny Happy People" video. GO DUCKS! Autzen Stadium is a shrine for loudness. U of O in the BCS Championship? Maybe.

 I also have opening night tickets to Portland's only game, Blazers VS Hornets next Wed. so kind of excited about that. Yeah, its a little better than Bobcats opening night though...eh? But I'm a Sonics fan 1st, Blazers 2nd. Check out my Sonic blog, it's called Sha Lock Lock Sonic Boom, there is a link to it right here on the Bolt blog page. It gets better as the season goes on. I'm committed to the bolts Blog till we win the Bowl! Like MC Hammer I will pray...yes, I'll pray...we gots to pray just to make it today! And pray the Sonics stay in Seattle.

 I'm gonna be honest. I was bored today besides the big plays. I was sober and the 2nd hand smoke got to me. And when your not drunk, drunk people are so freakin' annoying! God that Texans offense was like nails on the chalkboard. Rob Dayne is like having Jackie Gleason as RB. But Jackie Gleason was faster. Freakin' sloths could catch that guy from behind!  HOU QB Matt Schaub was knocked out of the game for foolishly taking two steps toward the play after he was intercepted and being cracked hard by Stephen Cooper I believe. Who was wrongly penalized I feel. Then we were treated to the back up QB who strikes fear into the hearts of men, SAGE! Sage Rosenthals came in to lend a hand in the INT fest. So does Sage have a sister named Raindrop? Are ye going to Scarborough Fair? We thumped a bad team. Or did we just make them look that bad? A little of both I feel. On to Minneapolis. And the Vikes. More of the same awaits you Norse peeps.
